It is important to keep track of the time in the mornings, every minute is valuable and for the sake of keeping a fluent and controlled pace, I always bike to work. It takes 20 minutes flat to be in place and I can kickstart a new day.
The mornings almost always mean meetings. At eight o'clock we have a project meeting where we go through challenges and opportunities as well as the status of the incoming sub-projects, including a Friday like this.
The first coffee will be on the computer since I always have a lot to do, but I do not mind. I have time enough to check my emails and answer some questions that came up before we get ready to start a similar meeting where we check our weekly goals, milestones and planning before everybody can return to their work.
I like the mood. I have been working for the same customer since I started at Knightec three years ago and there is always room for improvement since we always work with high-tech challenges.
I mostly eat my lunch in the office, today will be a simple pasta dish with little greens and fizzy water. Maybe it is not revolutionary, but lunch gives energy, and someone could consider it routinary although I try to vary myself a few times a week. But quick lunch means that I have the option to go a little earlier these days, and the flexibility in this assignment is something I highly appreciate.
Depending on the weather, I usually make sure to get out a bit and today is such a day. The energy reserves get charged so I can return to my work.
Since my role during these years has been niched towards project management, it could be said that in my current project I often act as an advisor to the project manager who bears overall responsibility. Also, I am responsible for project planning and reporting - a function that gives me a position as the one orchestrating and pulling the strings which gives me a broad perspective over the entire process, which I like!
